The bus trip was one step in a cross-country odyssey that eventually landed Arthur Morgan III in San Diego where he was arrested a week later after a nationwide manhunt.

Morgan, who had been living in Eatontown, N.J., is accused of throwing his 2½-year-old daughter, Tierra Morgan-Glover, off a bridge at about 6 p.m. ET Nov. 21, 2011, in Shark River Park in Wall Township, N.J. She had been strapped in her car seat that was weighted down with a car jack. Her body was found the next day.
